house and concert hall in Tallinn, Estonia. The Jugendstil building was designed by Finnish architects Armas Lindgren and Wivi Lönn. It was built as a national effort with the leadership of Estonia society in 1913 and was opened to the public on 24 August. At the time, it was the largest building in Tallinn. The opera house was heavily damaged in the Soviet air raid on Tallinn on 9 March 1944. It was reconstructed in a classical and Stalinist style, and reopened in 1947. Thebuilding has two large auditoriums in two separate wings. It now houses the Estonian National Opera and the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra. A chamber hall was opened in 2006.

entire plant would be turned over for war production. With this move Ford made $29 million dollars profit, although he promised to not take a cent of 'blood money'. Slaid 3. Depressions and Downsizings The cash-flow crises caught Ford dangerously in 1921. He had to change a lot, not to say everythin. He slashed car prizes and cut administration staff but it wasn't enough. Ford had to close down the Company to remove his financial crises. After a couple of months they reopened the Company but 20,000 of Ford's 70,000 emplyees were not rehired, including the entire Sociological Department. By 1923 car sales had topped 2 million and well over half the cars built in the world were Ford's. In 26th of May 1927 Henry Ford, with his son, drove what was to be the last of 15 million Model Ts off the Highland Park assembly line. Sixty thousand Ford workers in Detroit were left without work for six months until the new Model A was unveiled in December 1927

living on both sides of the "Iron Curtain" to keep contact with each other by financing several radio stations, of which the most famous is called Voice of America. This radio station was also one of the only means for people in Estonia to get information of the world beyond Soviet block. After Estonia gained it's independence once again on 20 August 1991, the English speaking countries were among the first to recognise Estonia as an independent country. For instance the United States reopened its Embassy in Tallinn on 4 September 1991. Estonia joined the United Nations and started the preparation to join other international organisations as the European Union and NATO. For this purpose much technical assistance from the US has arrived. For instance in recent years, the United States has supported the development of Estonia's Defense Forces with approximately 8 million dollars annually. This assistance led to the joining of Estonia with NATO on 29 March 2004.
Buffon's leap was further misinterpreted by later authors such as French writer Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest who combined the name "sumxu" with the description of the lop-eared cat (its white colour being unknown to him) as "hanging-ear cat, fur long and fine, black or yellow, domesticated in China in Peking province (Pe-chi-ly) under the name of sumxu". This was perpetuated through the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially by cat fanciers looking for new and exotic cats to import. When China reopened to foreigners after the Opium Wars, a number of missionaries, entrepreneurs, cat fanciers and researchers went looking in vain for the lop-eared cat. In his book "Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication" Charles Darwin referred briefly to a drooping eared race of cats in China. In "The Cat" by Lady Cust (1870) it states "Bosman relates that in the province of Pe-chily, in China, there are cats with long hair and drooping
Peeter Ulas (b. 1934), an expressive and vigorous illustrator and graphic artist was searching for free composition and formal realisation. Artists turned also to the avant-garde, proclaiming the aesthetic value of the work to be the decisive one: Jüri Arrak, Malle Leis, Tõnis Vint (b. 1942), and others. Contacts with Western countries widened, at first with the nearest neighbours. The shipping route between Tallinn and Helsinki was reopened in 1964, enabling mutual visits and contacts with Western intellectuals and artists. At the beginning of the Sixties, Finnish television programmes became available in Tallinn, and subsequently in Northern Estonia. In 1967, new buildings were opened by the theatre companies of Tartu and Pärnu. The actors started with small-hall and chamber-theatre. The Estonian opera was enriched by some achievements: Barbara von Tisenhusen by Eduard Tubin, and
